Group insurance for LIC housing loan borrowers

The insurance cover will be available to borrowers on the payment of a low one-time premium (single premium). The insurance premium will depend on the current age of borrower, outstanding loan amount, term of loan and rate of interest of the loan.

Any borrower aged between 18 and 60 years is eligible for life insurance cover under this scheme up to the age of 65.

The insurance cover is to the extent of the loan outstanding as at the beginning of each year and the claim is payable on the death of the member.

No medical examination is required for outstanding loan up to Rs 10 lakh (Rs 1 million) and members aged up to 45 years. A satisfactory declaration of good health is sufficient.
